Tree Service Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

We start with a free assessment of your trees and property. Our certified arborist evaluates the health, safety risks, and best approach for each tree that needs attention. You’ll get a clear explanation of what needs to be done and why.

The actual tree work happens with professional-grade equipment and safety protocols. We section down large trees carefully, protecting your property and landscaping. For stump grinding, we go below ground level so you can plant grass or landscaping immediately.

Cleanup is always included. We chip the branches, remove all debris, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. No piles of wood sitting in your yard for weeks. No surprise charges for hauling away the mess. The job isn’t finished until your property is completely restored.

Complete Tree Care Services

Everything Your Trees Need

Our tree service covers everything from routine pruning to emergency storm cleanup. Tree removal includes safe sectioning, complete debris removal, and stump grinding below grade level. We handle hazardous trees that threaten your home, overgrown trees damaging your roof, and dead trees that are just waiting to fall.

Tree trimming and pruning services keep your healthy trees in great shape while preventing future problems. We remove crossing branches, dead wood, and growth that’s too close to your house or power lines. Proper pruning actually strengthens trees and reduces storm damage risk.

Emergency services mean we’re available when storms hit Oyster Bay. Fallen trees blocking your driveway, branches on your roof, or trees threatening power lines – we respond quickly to get your property safe and accessible again. Wood chipping services turn all that debris into useful mulch instead of a disposal headache.

How much does tree removal cost in Oyster Bay?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost $300-600, while large trees near structures or power lines can range from $1,000-3,000 or more. The price includes safe removal, debris cleanup, and basic stump cutting. Stump grinding is typically an additional $100-400 depending on size. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Do I need a permit to remove trees on my property?

Oyster Bay has specific tree preservation ordinances that may require permits for removing certain trees, especially those over specific sizes or protected species. Generally, you need a permit for removing healthy trees over 6 inches in diameter, but dead, diseased, or hazardous trees can often be removed without permits. We’re familiar with local regulations and can help you determine if permits are needed. It’s always better to check first rather than face potential fines later.

What's the best time of year for tree pruning?

Late fall through early spring is typically the best time for most tree pruning in our area, when trees are dormant and won’t experience stress from cutting. However, dead branches and safety hazards should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some trees like maples and birches are best pruned in late summer to avoid excessive sap bleeding. Oak trees should never be pruned during April through July due to oak wilt disease risk. We’ll recommend the optimal timing for your specific trees.

How quickly can you respond to storm damage emergencies?

We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within 24 hours of storm events, often sooner for dangerous situations like trees on houses or blocking roads. Our emergency services focus first on making your property safe – removing trees from structures, clearing driveways, and eliminating immediate hazards. Complete cleanup and non-urgent work may be scheduled for the following days depending on storm severity and demand. We maintain emergency equipment specifically for rapid response to storm damage throughout Long Island.

Will you clean up all the debris after tree work?

Complete cleanup is always included in our tree service. We remove all branches, logs, and debris from your property. Wood is chipped on-site when possible, and larger logs are hauled away. We rake the area clean and leave your property in better condition than we found it. The only thing we typically leave behind is wood chips if you want them for mulch, but we’ll remove those too if you prefer. You won’t have piles of brush sitting in your yard for weeks.

How do I know if a tree is dangerous and needs removal?

Warning signs include dead or dying branches, cracks in the trunk, fungus growth at the base, significant lean toward structures, or root damage from construction. Trees with hollow trunks, extensive storm damage, or disease symptoms like unusual leaf drop or discoloration may also pose risks. If you’re concerned about a tree’s safety, it’s worth having a certified arborist assess it. We provide free evaluations and can determine whether a tree needs removal, pruning, or just monitoring. Don’t wait if you suspect a tree is hazardous – it’s better to address problems before they become emergencies.
